Question

Susan owes $15,000 in student loans. She pays $150 toward the debt every month. Represent the total amount that she owes as a function of months (x) after each payment?

Answer 1

f(x) = 15000 - 150x

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Amount owed = $15000

Amount payed towards debt per month = $150

Total amount owed as a function of month(x) after each payment :

F(x) = Initial amount owed - (amount paid per month * number of month)

Let number of month = x

f(x) = 15000 - 150x

Hence, the function ;

f(x) = 15000 - 150x represents the total amount owed after each payment.
